An Act relative to travel insurance
This bill clarifies and regulates travel insurance in Massachusetts by updating definitions and licensing requirements. It removes "travel insurance" from the definition of "Health benefit plan" and creates new terms like "limited lines travel insurance producer" and "travel retailer," requiring them to be licensed. The law mandates that travel insurers provide clear terms, claims processes, and contact information to customers, and requires producers to designate a compliance officer (DRP). It specifically excludes long-term medical plans (for expats or military) from travel insurance coverage. This directly affects travel insurance companies, retailers, and consumers purchasing trip protection.
